The book explains very basic environmental terms and concepts fairly well. The information is very clear and the wording concise. It does a good job of getting some general themes across. However, I would definitely not pay full price for a book such as this. Look for it in a used book store.

Generally, I found this book to be clear and well-written. The illustrations are great and the topics covered are all very interesting. The problem with the book is that the physical craftmanship is terrible. For a book sold at this price (170.00 new), I would expect to be purchasing a durable, well-bound, hardcover book. Unfortunately, despite the fact that the inside cover states it is a hardcover and Amazon lists the ISBN as a hardcover, it is in fact, a paperback. What's more, it is a poorly constructed paperback. McGraw-Hill, is the publisher, and I feel they should be ashamed to distribute such a product - particularly at such an absurd price. I understand that publishers need to charge more for college textbooks in order to make a reasonable profit, but $170.00 for this book is almost criminal.

The book wasn't what I want it, neither what I expected. The book was dirty inside and outside, it wasn't even the edition that I ask for.

I really like this book. I have highlighted a lot of information that is very fascinating. I definitely recommend this book to anyone taking a Geology class.

what i was expecting. i was happy with price and the condition of the book.

I received this book much faster than I was expecting it. This seller is very quick and provided me with a great quality book.

product was in better than described condition but old edition ( not indicated in item description) and had to be returned; service was very good

If you are taking a geology course with this book, drop it because the subject is boring and the book just spits a bunch of geology jargon that no reasonable person would give a **** about. REALLY regret taking this course for science credits because not only do the lectures make me fall asleep, but just looking at one page of this book makes me wanna shoot myself... and this is coming from someone who has read countless numbers of textbooks

this company sent me the wrong book, but realized it before i received the wrong one, so they corrected it and gave me a discount. the whole experience was still not good, but they made it right.

There were a few gliches, but they were taken care of beyond my expectations
